This new feature will work for addresses in the U.S. Australia or New Zealand. Google's Seth LaForge explains on this Google Lat-Long blog post that this can be put to use to correct the marker locations for homes and businesses by actually picking up the marker on the map and dropping it down right where the physical door or entrance is, making it easier for people visiting! This is a fantastic new feature that will help you ensure people can find you on and off the Google map!
This nifty little 30 second YouTube clip will help you visually see how this feature can be put to good use:

Wow, I just played with some of these and it's absolutely amazing what people come up with. Mine is a simple zip code mapping tool which people can use mostly for research. Everything is nicely integrated to provide good linkage between states counties and cities. I've been looking for ideas on how to make the service more interactive and I'm sure this blog will have something to offer. click to see my primitive zip code mapping service :)
200 meter restriction.... any exp w/this catch?
The address for Louis' Basque Corner is incorrect in Google Maps. It should be 301 EAST not West 4th st. Check it out, if you go to East you can even see it in the street view, or call them and get the address and cross street Evans.
